Shouldn't we then include the *minor* version in the soname? I think otherwise
we run into the danger of the wrong library version being loaded in some
cases. Imagine a program being told with libpq to use via rpath. But then we
load the oauth module via a dlopen without a specified path - it'll just
search the global library locations.

Which actually makes me wonder if we ought to instead load the library from a
specific location...

The pg_g_threadlock thing seems pretty ugly. Can't we just pass that to the
relevant functions?  But more fundamentally, are we actually using
pg_g_threadlock anywhere? I removed all the releant code and the tests still
seem to pass?

Why does this not work on windows? I don't see similar code in the removed
lines?
